[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your parents are reasonable and not bad enough to have caused (physical/emotional) trauma, why are they not spending a eeek with your parents and a week with his parents??? Parenting takes a village. It's not solo! If they have younger cousins, perhaps they can spend a week with Aunt/Uncle to cousin bond. Sympathies to you and your family. This is a long result of people refusing to hold their governments accountable for paid parental leave and flexible schedules for everyone. The longer people refuse to stand in solidarity and demand the same benefits for all of society. The longer people in this country suffer. Actions/Votes/Racism/ ................./....//// ALL have consequences [/quote] Oh you blessed person to have grandparents who can do that! I personally think that is the crux of the issue for this generation. I spent entire summers with my paternal grandparents or a few weeks of camp. My DH had camp and then spent a few weeks with his grandparents in another state. My mom- she still works and "wishes she could help". My Dad- is MIA and has never met my 19 month old daughter. My DHs Dad is in another state taking care of his mom who has dementia. My DHs Mom has early onset dementia, and we take care of her. DH is an only child. I have two siblings who are one) mentally unstable (has been institutionalized) and two) <25 on the west coast. COMPLETELY different existence from our parents' lives. [/quote]
